The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Under the Red Robe by Stanley Weyman: when I heard a movement behind me. The next moment her hand was
on my arm.
'Wait! Wait a moment! Come back!' she panted. I turned. The
smile and flush had vanished; her face was pale. 'No!' she said
abruptly. 'I was wrong! I, will not have it. I will have no
part in it! You planned it last night, M. de Barthe. It is
murder.'
'Mademoiselle!' I exclaimed, wondering. 'Murder? Why? It is a
duel.'
'It is murder,' she answered persistently. 'You planned it last
night. You said so.'
